Here is Chu's initial description, let's see if we can beef it up a bit and create a description for when this is released on Rosetta which will help people understand what's happening, what differences they will observe in the running of WUs etc. What are side chains? |

I'm thinking something like this: Prior versions of Rosetta@Home presented only the backbone of the protein being examined in the graphic display. Now, we've added support to display more details of the modelled protein. The graphic will now show the sidechains in the searching box when the model reaches a point where the sidechains are being optimized. This is generally the phase when the shape shown in the graphic just seems to twitch and jitter and not really move. Now, with the sidechain detail shown, you can see in the graphic how the sidechains may effect the overall structure of the protein. This sidechain optimization is what occurs in the "full atom relax" stage of the model. These are calculations we've been performing all along, but now with the graphic enhancements, you can see them illustraited and hopefully you can better understand how your computer is helping Rosetta@Home to study proteins. |
